American TikTokers are asking users to follow them on other social media apps as TikTok's threatened U.S. ban in January seems likely.
American TikTokers are asking users to follow them on other social media apps — as TikTok’s threatened U.S. ban next month seems even more likely after a federal appeals court’s ruling last week upheld the law.that gave TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance 90 days to sell the video app or face a total ban in the U.S., could be banned across the U.S. as soon as January 19 — unless the video app divests from its Beijing-based parent company.
With the prospect of a ban in just six weeks, some TikTokers have also begun asking followers which social media apps they would like to follow them on instead.On the app, both viewers and content creators expressed fear and confusion, with many doubting TikTok’s survival in the U.S. and bracing themselves for the worst. Many TikTokers voiced concerns about their future livelihoods if the ban goes into effect.
“For the first time I’m realizing that a lot of what I worked for could disappear,” Chris Mowrey, an influencer with 470,000 TikTok followers, tells. “I don’t think it’s been talked about enough how damaging it will be from an economic standpoint for small businesses and creators.”On Monday, TikTok asked a court for an emergency injunction to prevent it becoming unavailable in the U.S. in the new year.
